Medihoney® Calcium Alginate Dressing — 4x5 Inch | McKesson 31045

Medihoney Calcium Alginate Dressing is a sterile, medical-grade honey-impregnated alginate dressing designed for use across all phases of wound healing. The dressing combines the absorptive properties of calcium alginate with the proven wound management benefits of Leptospermum (Manuka) honey — sourced from New Zealand and Australia — to support debridement, pH reduction, and a moist healing environment in a single, nonadhesive dressing format.

As wound fluid enters the dressing, the honey is released into the wound bed while the alginate absorbs exudate and forms a soft, cohesive gel. This dual-action mechanism supports autolytic debridement of necrotic and sloughy tissue while maintaining the moist environment clinicians rely on for optimal healing outcomes. Medihoney maintains its effectiveness even in the presence of wound fluid, making it suitable for moderately to heavily exuding wounds.
